Specific guidance
Business School
For the business school further clarification of these roles and alignment to the teaching delivery:
Lecturers would be anticipated to be the named staff who could be leading the module or equally may be the main presenter of the module.
Tutors would represent the day-to-day teaching staff who may be taking on the more significant aspects of teaching / administration of the module, including any changes or maintenance required
Non-Editing tutors would represent the day-to-day teaching staff who may be engaged with students and have limited responsibilities (such as marking) but not for making changes to the module's content.
Role Assignments
The majority of role assignments will be through PEGASUS roles and responsibilities, as per current Myplace user management processes.
Locally Administrated Roles
The following roles should be locally administered by the relevant departmental staff or the existing class staff:
- Tutor
- Non-Editing Tutor
Centrally Administrated Roles
Granting of these roles is via Myplace Support:
- Learning Technology Advisor
- Faculty / Department Learning Technology Advisor
In both of these cases, these roles are typically granted against a category (see Class Management for details on how classes are physically organised within corp.myplace).
